PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to find the most useful marker of endometriosis-related infertility and evaluate predictive and diagnostic values of systemic inflammatory response markers (preoperative white blood-cell subtypes, neutroph…

Abstract Background: The cause of endometriosis, which is characterized by the existence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, is poorly understood. Seminal plasma (SP) is rich in multiple cytokines may promote endom…

Aim of the present study was to explore the evaluative effectiveness of age, ovarian volume (OV), antral follicle count (AFC), serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), AFC/Age ratio, AMH/Age ratio, FSH/luteini…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a complex disease in the field of gynecology that has certain limitations for its interim treatment. Resveratrol has been recently used for the treatment of endometriosis in experimental and clinical s…

Transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA) is the standard treatment for the intrauterine adhesions, but the recurrence of adhesions is a tough problem for the gynecologist. In addition, the therapeutic strategy after TCRA about prevention …

Endometriosis (EMs) is one of the most common gynaecological diseases in women of childbearing age. Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) is associated with the invasion, migration, apoptosis and prognosis of various cancers. However, the roles…

A large number of menopausal women report sleep disturbances along with psychological, somatic and urogenital menopausal symptoms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT) in improving subjecti…

BACKGROUND: Immune dysregulation is one of the mechanisms to promote endometriosis (EMS). Various T cell subpopulations have been reported to play different roles in the development of EMS. The mucosa-associated invariant T cell (MAIT) is a…

Fluorescence imaging is an emerging clinical technique for real-time intraoperative visualization of tumors and their boundaries. Though multiple fluorescent contrast agents are available in the basic sciences, few fluorescence agents are a…

Adenomyosis is frequently observed in premenopausal women, and oral dienogest is the recommended treatment to target the underlying pathology and improve the symptoms. This retrospective study investigated the association of Lewis (b) antig…

Genetic causes of male infertility that is associated with aging are largely unknown. This study was designed to identify novel pathogenic variants of FOXP3 gene causing azoospermia. One homozygous (c.155 G > T) pathogenic variant of FOXP3 …

Huaier, as known as Trametes robiniophila Murr, is a traditional Chinese medicine. Various studies have demonstrated that Huaier could inhibit cancer progression and improve the prognosis of patients. In the present study, we comprehensivel…

Foshou San is a typical gynaecological formula with wild usage in traditional Chinese medicine. Jiawei Foshou San (JFS) is a novel ingredient prescription from Foshou San with antiendometriosis effect in unclear mechanisms. To uncover the p…

Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have become the key gene regulators and prognostic biomarkers in various cancers. Through microarray data, Linc00339 was identified as a candidate oncogenic lncRNA. We compared the expression levels o…

Endometriosis is associated with benign but adversely developed cysts in the extrauterine environment. The oxidative imbalanced environment induces DNA damage and affects cell cycle progression of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and endome…

Jiawei Foshou San (JFS) is the new formula originated from classic Foshou San formula, composed with ligustrazine, ferulic acid, and tetrahydropalmatine. Previously JFS inhibited the growth of endometriosis (EMS) with unclear mechanism, esp…

Adenomyosis is a common benign disease of women of childbearing age. The typical clinical features are prolonged menstruation, menorrhagia and ingravescent dysmenorrhea. In the present study, the severity of dysmenorrhea was assessed using …

Expression of autophagy-related proteins, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3) and Beclin1, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) was investigated in serum and peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis (EM). The messeng…

The programmed death-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 pathway plays important roles in immune responses and peripheral tolerance. Under pathological conditions, this pathway can suppress protective T cell responses and induce immune system disorders. Endomet…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and deadly malignant tumors in the world, especially in China. Follistatin-like protein 5 (FSTL5) is a member of the FSTL family, which is involved in cell proliferation, migration, d…

Hypoxia plays a vital role in the progression of endometriosis. Additionally, integrin-mediated aberrant adhesion is also essential for establishment of endometriotic lesions. In this study, we sought to determine the function of hypoxia in…

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of Behçet's disease (BD) remains challenging due to the lack of diagnostic biomarkers. This study aims to identify potential serum metabolites associated with BD and its disease activity. METHODS: Medical records …

Retinol (vitamin A) and its derivatives, collectively known as retinoids, are required for maintaining vision, immunity, barrier function, reproduction, embryogenesis and cell proliferation and differentiation. Despite the fact that most ev…

Endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (enMSCs) are a class of novel adult stem cells with self-renewal capacity, differentiation potential, low immunogenicity, low tumorigenicity, and other biological characteristics. Since the discovery of en…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine the spectrum of infertility diagnoses and assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments in relation to risk of preterm birth (PTB) in singletons. METHODS: Population-based assisted repro…
